Trump Campaign To Sue CNN For “Substantial Payment” After Project Veritas Undercover Exposé
The Epoch Times | 10-18-19 | Jack PhillipsThe Trump administration plans to sue CNN over bias and “wrongful practices” following revelations contained in a recent Project Veritas undercover exposé.
In a four-page letter to CNN, its CEO Jeff Zucker and Executive VP David Vigilante, Trump attorney Charles J. Harder provided several examples of bias against Trump, who seeks “a substantial payment of damages.”
Listing several examples from the just-released Project Veritas videotapes of CNN insiders describing Zucker’s demand for “impeachment above all else,” Harder wrote that they “are merely the tip of the iceberg of the evidence my clients have accumulated over recent years.”
He added, “Never in the history of this country has a President been the subject of such a sustained barrage of unfair, unfounded, unethical and unlawful attacks by so-called ‘mainstream’ news, as the current situation.”

The Round Up – Friday
Hi folks,
As you know, I live in LA. Some people think it’s dangerous, mostly because they’re afraid the police might attack them. That’s not true. Turns out that they’re just as likely to attack each other!!!
Funny. As they looked at the numbers they realized there were just as many officers shot by other officers as there were who were shot by criminals.
LA is hoping they can tone down the cop on cop shooting. Maybe we can convince them to start by writing each other tickets, or letting each other off with a warning.
It’s gotten so bad that the police have a new term — Driving While Police Officer.
They also have a new locker room slogan: Just for today, I will not shoot anybody.
Country singer Troy Lee Gentry is in trouble with the law for killing a tame bear and then claiming he killed it in the wild.
They suspect he filmed the thing on video and edited to look like he was on a real hunt. Here are some tips for editing. When you show the bear, and some damaged trees and dead animals – that swath of destruction makes for good video.
Bad video is when you film the bear, and right next to him you can still see the bear’s little tricycle.
Troy Gentry is part of Montgomery Gentry, a singing duo with country hits such as If You Ever Stop Loving Me, My Town, , and I’m Coming to Your House to Shoot Your Hamster.
A judge in Ohio has ruled that two teens can finish out their football seasons before having to serve their jail time. The teens will be doing time for setting up a deer decoy in the middle of the road. The prank led to people being severely injured.
Judge said “I shouldn’t be doing this, but I’m going to. I see positive things about participating in football,”
Football doing positive things? I don’t know. It didn’t seem to HELP THEM BEFORE!!!
But maybe a couple of extra games is what they need to really get back on the right track.
This judge is only gonna confuse other people in his court.
Judge: I order you to serve two months as a wide receiver!
Defendant: (pumping fist) Yes!! I LOVE football.
Judge: Who said anything about football?
So the quarterback and his teammate are back with the Wildcats and getting ready for their next game against Sandusky Bears.
Sadly, their game against the bears this Friday was cancelled.
They too were killed by country singers.
News Round Up – Wednesday
Welcome,
I’m RightWingDuck, and I’m here to share the news.
Former President Ford has been admitted to the Mayo clinic. Nobody knows why, really. None of Ford’s people are sharing any information. Reporters are a bit miffed I tell you. They’re not used to dealing with former presidents who can keep their mouths shut.
Reporters asked President Bush about how he felt about Mr. Ford being admitted to the Mayo clinic. He responded: “I’ve long believed in the healing capabilities of Mayo — and Mustard.”
Here in California the Governator is in trouble. Really. Local Muslim groups were offended that he went to some pro-Israel rallies. He never attended any of the Muslim events.
The bad news for Arnold? They’re so mad that they’re threatening to help his opponent Phil Angelides.
The strange part is they’re offering to give him 1,000 cell phones.
I’m sure you’ve heard about that. Three kids were busted with over 1,000 cell phones in their van. I guess that makes giving out your phone number much easier.
Kid: “Yeah. Call me, dude. My number is 555 — um — just dial any four numbers after 555, I’ll get the call.”
It’s a great idea. Really. Until the phone rings.
Dell is in the news lately. It seems that certain laptop models have batteries that catch on fire. Dell hasn’t seen anything like this since they introduced their New Jersey Edition which not only caught on fire but also featured a lack of eyewitnesses. Oddly, it was the only laptop they offered that came with insurance.
Wal-Mart is reporting that they will have lower earnings. This is understandable. Labor is getting harder to find and more expensive now that many of their overseas employees are going back to Kindergarten.
Also, for some reason, sales are down for cell phones.
Some Mexican fishermen were found after having been missing for 9 months and presumed dead. Isn’t that awesome?
They survived by drinking rain water and eating birds and fish.
The good news is that they were found by some Taiwanese fisherman and are doing well. The bad news is that they have a touch of the bird flu.
Wanna hear something really funny? When the Taiwanese workers came up on deck and saw the three Mexicans they yelled, “Damn, where did all these illegals come from?”
The skies aren’t any safer than the water, believe me.
A United Airlines flight had an incident where a woman freaked out. Turns out she had claustrophobia. That’s what you need on a flight, somebody who desperately needs to get out.
All these airline restrictions are wild. It’s a stressful time to fly. People wanting to blow up airplanes, freaked out passengers, crazy “youths” trying to sneak in liquid explosives.
I’m not saying that restrictions on flights are tight, but just the other day they caught an airline pilot sneaking in some powdered Jack Daniels.
In Arizona, they have a brand new state of the art football field. The field is on a tray and it retracts in and out of the stadium so that the grass can get rain and sunshine.
The field takes 1 hour to retract into the building. One hour to move 100 yards?
NFL officials say this is the first time the field covers more ground than the football team.
Until Tomorrow…
Cindy Sheehan 1-star Book Review Watch
As explained in this post, Amazon has been quietly removing 1-star reviews from Cindy Sheehan’s new book. Let’s examine the history of the 1-star reviews by date:
3:15 pm 11-30-05
1-star reviews dated Nov 29: 5
1-star reviews dated Nov 30: 6
4:15 pm 11-30-05
1-star reviews dated Nov 29: 5
1-star reviews dated Nov 30: 5
7:00 am 12-1-05
1-star reviews dated Nov 29: 3
1-star reviews dated Nov 30: 5
11:00am 12-2-05:
1-star reviews dated Nov 29: 3
1-star reviews dated Nov 30: 1
1-star reviews dated Dec 1: 2
1-star reviews dated Dec 2: 1
You can easily track 1-star reviews with this link to the reviews listed lowest first.
Here’s an interesting line from Dec 2, as posted by reviewer Jed:
“I left an honest but critical review of the book and the named author, it was removed. I once again left an honest yet critical review of this book; again it was removed but this time along with every review I have left on other items.”
From Dec 1st, reviewer Kenneth:
“why has my review been removed? the book is poorly written and she does her political view a disservice when she espouses hatred. why does amazon censor reviews? does someone on amazon’s staff allow their political viewpoint to override free speech?”
Dec 1st, JR Dunn:
“Be advised that somebody is using this page to target virus attacks against anyone who has written a negative review — which, appearances to the contrary, is several hundred people by now.
(…)(some upstanding, tolerant lefty, no doubt) with the header “Invitation to be an Amazon Friend” appears in your inbox(this may differ from case to case, of course) praising your review and asking you to click a link. Needless to say, don’t do it. Delete the sucker.”
We’ll see where it goes from here.
UPDATE: GOP & College has some more analysis, plus a couple screenshots.
The News Round-Up, Thursday
NASA today confirmed that a piece of insulation fell of during the launch of space shuttle Discovery.
Man. Millions of dollars per launch and they can’t keep it from falling apart.
Thankfully, they’ll save money next launch when NASA introduces their Everybody Gets The Employee Discount program.
In Utah, a bunch of guys bought a billboard to help their buddy get more dates. True story. The guy is 31, a Harvard MBA, and — as required by Utah law — a Mormon.
So his buddies buy some billboard space which asks women to date this guy.
You know what I’d like to see?
Lance: Hey, you guys bought me a billboard? You guys are the greatest.
Guys: Sure thing, man. You deserve the best.
Lance: Guys, how come only half a billboard? Not to be ungrateful but why do I share space with an ad for Levitra?
Guys: Sorry, it was either that or Coca Cola.
You know what would be cool? To see a bunch of women buy a nearby billboard saying, “Buzz off” or “Nah, I’m not interested.”
Speaking of which, we need a Shut Up Alec billboard.
did you hear about this? Inspired by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Alec Baldwin wants to enter politics.
Baldwin reasoned that “if the largest, most economically significant state in America could elect a man who is totally unqualified for the job, then they can elect anyone.”
Which would be true, except that even by those standards Alec is still under qualified.
What does Arnold have that Alec doesn’t have? Besides successful films?
Hey ALEC! If I want to know what Kim Bassinger looks like naked — I’ll COME TO YOU! Either that — or rent 9 Ω weeks.
Why do actors think they can be governor just because an actor like Arnold did it?
Are there guys out there with one testicle thinking, “Hey, I could win the Tour de France.”?
News Round-Up Monday
Good Afternoon, I’m RightWingDuck and this is your News Round-Up.
Yes, it has been a while hasn’t it? So I’ll start off easy and work my way up throughout the week.
Do you know what this world needs? Fewer Stereotypes.
On a recent trip to the Middle East, singer Ricky Martin said he wants to help Arabs with their stereotypes.
“I have been a victim of stereotypes. I come from Latin America and to some countries, we are considered ‘losers,’ drug traffickers, and that is not fair because that is generalizing,” said Martin, who was born in Puerto Rico.
He vowed to help them any way he could.
Because nothing helps the Arab image than to get help from a Latino who won’t even admit he’s heterosexual.
Martin attended the silver jubilee of the Arab Children’s Congress set up 25 years ago by Jordan’s Queen Nour, King Hussein’s widow, to promote creativity, peace, cross-cultural understanding and tolerance. He said he would like to promote a similar youth congress for his native Latin America.
Provided he can rustle up enough kids who weren’t working as mules.
Ricky Martin is determined to make a difference. In fact, in their honor, he will launch a new hit single — Living La Vida Jihad.
Does it leave you a bit dizzy? You should take something.
In London , Mars, the company that made its fortune satisfying chocolate cravings, announced plans Monday to develop medications that use a component of cocoa to help treat diabetes, strokes and vascular disease.
Wow, help with vascular disease. I can just hear the jingle now–
Bom bom bom bom
sometimes you feel like a stroke.
Bom bom bom bom
Sometimes you don’t.
RWD’s News Round-Up, Tuesday Evening
Hello,
I’m RightWingDuck and I’m here to share the news.
Vive La France!!
The French have rejected the EU constitution. Incredible!
Every citizen could cast a vote for one of two choices: Yes or no. Maybe this caused confusion. After all, their normal ballot choices are: Yes, no, or surrender.
People wonder where Chirac could have gone wrong. How can the man end up with so much egg on his face? Personally, I believe it’s an issue of sincerity: I just don’t trust that phony French accent!
Does this spell disaster for the EU? Maybe not. Thankfully, they are united by a mutual geography, a strong sense of history, and a mutual contempt for America.
Heh heh heh.
People are really shocked by this outcome. 53 percent voted “non”. So now the losers are walking around being snotty and rude. Or were those the winners? I lose track.
So France has a lot of work to do if they ever hope to get this EU constitution back on track. They will work all day long — 20 hours a week if the unions let them.

Hello,
I’m RightWingDuck and I’m here to share the news.
I’ve been away for so long that I feel a bit nervous. But as my speech teacher used to say, “Whenever you feel nervous, it’s helpful to imagine Saddam Hussein in his underwear.”
Buwahahahaha
In England, a newspaper published photographs of Saddam Hussein in his underwear, folding his clothing . Authorities have no idea who snapped the picture and are investigating. One thing for sure, it wasn’t taken on a Saturday. Saturday is thong day.
Good News for Saddam. He will be filing a lawsuit against the paper.
Bad news. The court date is set for three days after his execution.
I’d like to offer this observation about the Saddam picture: I always thought the word dictator was one word.
People always talked about the man’s meanstreak. Turns out it’ll come out with a little bit of Clorox bleach.
Ironically enough, it may be the last picture of Saddam that has him with clean underwear.
I don’t mind the picture of Saddam. But did they have to snap 50 pictures of him putting on body lotion? shiver::
RWD’s News Round-Up, Wednesday Night
Hello Everyone,
I’m RightWingDuck and I’m here to share the news.
Guess what? Los Angeles has a new mayor. It’s Antonio Villaraigosa, the first Latino we’ve had running the city in over a century.
He beat the incumbent Mayor – Mayor Hahn, by being able to connect with the minorities here in LA. Or as we call them — White People.
Not much of a choice. We had a liberal Incumbent versus a liberal challenger.
Personally, I’ve never voted Democrat, but maybe one day before I die — I will. Or in the Dems case, maybe I will AFTER I die.
The race got a bit hot at the end. Accusations, attack ads. I felt Mayor Hahn went over the line when he tried to have Villaraigosa deported.
LA has to get used to a Latino running things. At the celebration dinner, it took Antonio too long to get up the podium. Latinos and whites kept stopping him.
Latino: Excuse me, sir?
Mayor V: Yes?
Latino: I’m very proud. I’d like to shake your hand.
Mayor V: Sure thing.
Lady: Excuse me, sir?
Mayor V: Yes, ma’am?
Lady: I can’t find my waitress; can you get me some ice water?
RWD’s News Round-Up, Monday Night
Hello Everyone,
I’m RightWingDuck and I’m here to share the news.
Sorry I’m late today. There was this huge scandal I needed to investigate. If it’s true, it could create a tremendous backlash from the Democrats. Rumor has it that the Republicans flushed the Democrat’s Donkey down the toilet.
So let’s talk about the lead story.
Newsweek reported that interrogators at Gitmo had flushed a Koran down the toilet. Of course, it turns out that this anonymous source cannot confirm that it really happened. However, this didn’t stop the magazine from running the story. The Middle East has seen rioting, and yes, even deaths.
Serious stuff though. In some Middle Eastern countries, if you desecrate the Koran, they can apply the Death Penalty. Of course, they also apply the death penalty for not shaving, jay walking, and having a sassy mouth.
Bad News for Newsweek. They lost all their recruiting advertising from the U.S. Army.
Good News. They sold those full page ads for a martyr campaign for Al Queda.
Al Jazeera seems to very interested as well.
They desecrated the Koran? What, is there only one copy? Was it an original?
Here in America they take pages from the Holy Bible and use them to wipe their butts. Do you know what THAT’S called?
Modern Art.
Sure Newsweek caused rioting and a couple of deaths — but the main question about the article is: Did It Make You Think?
Hopefully, the retraction will help all of this blow over. We can work with our allies and get the word out that the story was false. In time, feelings will subside and they can get over their feelings of pure American Rage and get back to their old feelings of pure American Hatred.
Poor guys at Gitmo. We didn’t mean to deprive them of their religious freedom — just their Due Process.
RWD’s News Round-Up
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
I’m RightWingDuck and I’m here to share the news.
There was quite a scare in Washington today. A small Cessna airplane violated restricted air space and endedup getting an F-16 escort out of the area. The Secret Service and the police evacuated the White House and nearby buildings.
Man, you haven’t seen that many people scramble out of the White House since the time Hillary unexpectedly came back from her vacation.
The small Cessna had a pilot and a student pilot onboard. They were not charged with anything. Student pilot? There’s a lesson you won’t ever forget!
“Hey, teacher. Why are those fighter jets shooting flares at us?
“Well.. (Long pause) It means there’s an accident up ahead. I have an idea.Why don’t we change course?”
In all of the chaos, security rushed people out of the building. In fact, a couple of officers lifted Nancy Pelosi right out of her shoes.
It got confusing for people afterwards. They came back and saw her shoes out in the middle of the floor. No matter how hard they looked, they couldn’t seem to find the yellow brick road.

RWD’s News Round-Up, Monday
Hello,
I’m RightWingDuck and I’m here to share the news.
Did you watch the Kentucky Derby. The winner was the longshot of the race – Giacomo.
Nobody was happier than the owner and the Giaci who rode him.
The Kentucky Derby just goes to show you – no matter how much money you have you just can’t BUY a winner. As George Steinbrenner should know by know.
Things didn’t go well for Steinbrenner’s horse. Right, out the chute, it was surrounded by so many horses rear ends – it’s like he was a member of the Yankees.
Haha. A little “I wish the Yankees would die” humor.
In a new strategy, Steinbrenner bought every horse in the country. His chances for next year look pretty good, if the horses can stay healthy.
RWD’s News Round Up, Thursday
Hi gang,
This is RightWingDuck and I’m here to share the news.
I’m sorry I missed yesterday’s roundup. I was.. um. Um.
Kidnapped by an Hispanic and a white lady.
Jennifer Wilbanks is still in the news. You know, sometimes you get tired of the joke writing, and along comes Jennifer and you find your second wind.
The Hispanic community is upset that Jennifer thought to blame them for her abduction. She owes them an apology. And the police, and the rescue workers, and the volunteers, and the people who donated products and services to the volunteers, and her guests. .and..
You know what? It’s a sad day when the only person NOT clamoring for an apology is Al Sharpton.
And the fiancée.
Yes, the fiancée still wants to have the wedding. Or as he calls it “Best two out of three.”
I’m not saying the guests are distrustful. But I believe it will be the first time they run the bride to the altar on a rail.
It’s very sweet. The minister is trying to accomodate the emotional needs of the bride.
We are gathered today to join this man and woman in holy matrimony. The exits are located to their side and to the rear–Next bus leaves in 10 minutes.
RWD’s News Roundup-Tuesday
Hello everyone,
I’m RightWingDuck and I’m here to share the news.
Still in the news is the runaway bride, Jennifer Wilbanks. Her fiancée was on TV saying that he would still marry her because he gave her a ring and had made a promise before God. Which is probably why she flipped out. Okay, at what point in time did he think they were actually married?
John::Do you want something to drink?
Jennifer:I do.
John: Oh, sweetheart. Me TOO!!! Forever and ever!!
They make a cute couple. This morning, while I was eating breakfast, I saw a picture of them. Well, they weren’t actually together. His picture was in the USA Today, and hers was on my milk carton.
Will they make it as a couple? I don’t know. We’ll see.
Mary Kay Latourneau is set to marry her bo- boyfriend. If you recall, Mary Kay was sent to prison for having slept with her then 13 year old student.
As is becoming the pattern, they have sold the rights to their wedding photos. The amount is up for speculation however I’m told it involves a substantial amount of dollars and arcade tokens.
It’s weird, she’s so much older than he is. And he seems so tiny. But they’re happy and he’s legal now, so I guess its okay. Now, some people gossip about the huge age difference. “What’s going to happen when they’re both 20 years older?” I don’t know.
I don’t know — what do you think? Do you think she’d find somebody younger?
RWD’s News Round-Up, Thursday
Hello,
I’m RightWingDuck and I’m here to share the news.
In England, Channel 5 has announced plans to air a hip, edgy reality series — LIVE plastic surgery.
Do they mean live-live? Yes, as in the coverage features real plastic surgery in action!!
Imagine having to be the play-by-play team on THAT one.
“What’s he doing now, Jim.”
“Well, Bob, Dr. Smythe appears to be using the number 5 scalpel”
“Why do you think he’s doing that?”
“Well, Bob. If you recall, he hurt his shoulder in the Johnston liposuction.”
“Indeed.”
In yet another ground-breaking move, Channel 5 launched an even edgier, hipper new series. “Live Plastic Surgery- Bloopers.”
“What’s he doing now, Jim.”
“Well, Bob, Dr. Smythe appears to be using the number 5 scalpel”
“Why do you think he’s doing that?”
“Well, Bob. If you recall, he left the number 4 scalpel inside Mr. Jones.”
“Indeed. Ha ha. Let’s watch that footage now”
Speaking of surgical bloopers–
The Michael Jackson trial is still just too much fun to watch.
Debbie Rowe, Michael’s ex-wife took the stand today. She was artificially inseminated. And Michael might not even be the father!!
Oh my goodness.
We should have known. Those young kids don’t resemble a young Michael Jackson at all.
On second thought — even Michael doesn’t resemble a young Michael Jackson.
